While tennis, with its signature crisp whites and pleated skirts and dresses, has been enjoying a bit of a fashion moment, the best golf clothes for women have been in need of a refresh for a while now. It's time to toss those cheesy pastels and preppy V-necks. Thankfully, the latest crop of options has arrived, and these active styles are now pieces you might want to wear off the course, too.

Designers like Tory Burch and Malbon are leaning into motifs that harken back to golf’s most stylish days (when golfers like Gary Player and Arnold Palmer sported cardigans, sweater vests, and trousers), but with sweat-wicking materials and more fashion-forward cuts. If you wish to take a more classic activewear approach, tried-and-true heritage labels such as Adidas, Nike, and Ralph Lauren are ready to take your wardrobe up a notch with their golf-ready takes on the best workout clothes for women.
Here, shop some of the best golf clothes for women on the market, from polished polos and easy-to-wear skirts to flouncy dresses and more— all of which you’ll want to sport even when you aren’t teeing up.
A sporty dress is the workhorse of any golf wardrobe. It’s typically designed with a collar, above-the-knee hemline, and in a performance fabric (stretch cotton piqué, for example). From there, look for differentiating details like pleating, zippers, and piping that lend a preppy touch. You’ll find a classic golf dress from sporty favorites like Varley, or you can skew retro with a piece like Tory Burch’s contrast stitch polo dress.

The flit and flutter of a golf skirt can make the entire outfit sing. Other details, like prints, pleating, and especially a skort design, can also make a big difference. Tory Burch’s timeless khaki looks great with neutrals and bright colorful tops alike. If you’re after something more classic, sportswear favorites like G/Fore and Polo Ralph Lauren offer performance fabrics in simple silhouettes.

Half the fun of dressing for a day of sport is the accessorizing. For golf, in particular, the opportunities to add playful touches are particularly charming, beginning with a pair of bubblegum pink gloves from Ralph Lauren and a monogrammed golf club holder from Jimmy Choo. Other golf-specific pieces like a golf organizer, help finish off your list of essentials.

Because not every day can be 75 degrees and sunny, invest in a few signature jackets, sweatshirts, or sweaters that will complement your golf separates. Tory Burch’s ruffled take on the windbreaker is a great place to start if you’re going more traditional, as is Lacoste’s stretch-knit golf jacket with water-resistant sleeves. For warmth (and extra style points!), casually sling a sweater over your shoulders—we love Frame's graphic polo for an argyle print we can get behind.

The polo is a quintessential part of any golf wardrobe. For a retro moment, consider Malbon’s contrast knit in versatile dove gray. Lacoste's stretch jersey option is a great for a hot day, while soft cashmere finds from Nili Lotan and J. Crew are fall-appropriate and perfect for pairing with denim after your 18 holes are made.

If a golf skirt or dress isn’t quite right for you, consider a pair of the best golf pants. Full-length or cropped, slim-fit or with a little extra breathing room, the choices abound. Most designs tend to be made of a stretch-twill—a technical performance fabric that allows for flexibility and seamless movement on the course. Best part? They all come with side pockets large enough to hold a golf ball or phone.

A smartly designed pair of golf shoes is a key component to a successful day on the course. Look for features that provide both stability and traction, like the G’Fore Kiltie shoe with its low drop design and heel-to-toe turf traction. The spikeless golf shoe from Adidas is another favorite thanks to its heritage feel, and the collaboration pair between Jimmy Choo and Malbon would be ideal for transitioning to a post-game lunch.
